Corrections and clarifications

Eugene Kaspersky, co-founder and CEO of the internet security company Kaspersky Lab, was never a "KGB man" or a lieutenant in the KGB (The ex-KGB man stalking the cybercriminals, page 5, Technology, January 31). He studied cryptography at a high school which was then co-sponsored by the Russian department of defence and KGB, and went on to work for the department of defence.

Robert Brown, who claims to be the illegitimate son of Princess Margaret, has not established that royal wills should not be closed to public inspection. The court of appeal said that he is entitled to a hearing of his claim to inspect the wills (In praise of... Robert Brown, page 32, February 11).

Academies have not argued that they should be allowed to inspect themselves as private schools do (Academies the new grammar schools: Adonis, page 5, February 8, early editions). They have called for stronger self-evaluation alongside Ofsted inspections, not instead of them.

We mistakenly referred to the writer John Naish as Shapiro partway through a review of his new book, Enough (Et cetera, page 9, Review, February 9).

The photograph used to illustrate reviews of the Mikado at the Gielgud theatre in London was actually of the current revival of the Jonathan Miller production for English National Opera at the nearby Coliseum (Review of reviews, page 29, G2, February 11).
